When I try to use wvdial this is the result. Users have been added to the dialout group and the configuration is correct to the best of my (limited) knowledge. Error code to 2 is a conflict of some sort but I haven't a clue.

You will get some more messages from pppd in /var/log/messages.
If there is a conflict in the pppd options, it will show where it fails...

This is the only thing in there concerning diald.

The /usr/share/doc/wvdial/README asks to create a complete transcript using
wvdial 2>&1 | tee wvdial.out
I am hoping the ppd options will show up there,
otherwise you may need to
ps -ax
after you see the "starting pppd at" response to catch some of the options.

first use pppconfig, then command pon to connect anf poff for disconncet.(It is muche better then wvdial)
